The most annoying things about Windows Vista
Thursday, February 22nd, 2007
There’s lots to like in the newest version of Windows. Vista’s look is stunning, the OS should be more secure, and finding things is 
often easier. But Windows wouldn’t be Windows without those aspects, big and small, that just drive you nuts with frustration. Here’s our list of Vista features that just make us wonder, "What were they thinking?"
Home basically-there’s-no-reason-to-buy-this
The cheapest version of Vista, Home Basic, is so crippled it can’t run the Aero interface. Theoretically, that’s a boon for owners of machines that aren’t capable of running Aero. But it’s time for some tough love, people: If your PC can’t run Aero, you have no need for Vista. Period. On machines that aren’t Aero-capable, the rest of the OS will run slowly enough that you’re better off sticking with XP until it’s time to buy a new Vista PC. So why does Home Basic exist? So Microsoft can say that Vista costs "as little as $100."
Not fixable: Unless you consider not buying Vista Home Basic a fix. Digit - Blogs - Team Digit - The most annoying things about Windows Vista
